The PicLens guys and gals have rolled out a new 1.7 release with quite a few new navigational aides and features. I’m a little late to the party with this post, as 1.7 went public a few weeks ago while I was distracted with bootstrapping the new job at Microsoft.
The three headliners for this 1.7 [...]

PicLens 1.6.1 for Internet Explorer is now available for download from CNET’s download.com. This should help relieve some of the server load on the PicLens.com mother ship, much like having the Firefox xpi’s downloadable from Mozilla.com.
Note that if you do a search for PicLens on CNET, you’ll get two items in the search results: The [...]

James Corbett of EirePreneur discovered PicLens, and quickly twittered his fellow Irish entrepreneur Marcus Mac Innes to ask about viewing Pix.ie photo galleries on the PicLens 3D wall. Marcus contacted the CoolIris team, and in fairly short order Marcus had Pix.ie generating mediaRSS feeds for PicLens to consume!
Great work, Marcus!

Erwin Jurschitza dropped us a note to let us know that Zeno.org, the German-language online library, has recently implemented mediaRSS feeds for several of its photo collections, such as this van Gogh collection. It looks great in PicLens! (I had no idea van Gogh was so prolific!)
Erwin also mentioned that the entire zeno.org site is implemented in [...]

Scott Gilbertson over at Wired picked up on the ReadWriteWeb article on PicLens and did a write up of his own for Wired’s MonkeyBites blog. (Or is it Wired’s Compiler blog? The title says one thing, but the URL disagrees)

The folks over at Zaplife.com have just added mediaRSS feeds to their photo galleries. This happened shortly after the Zaplife team discovered PicLens. Coincidence? I doubt it. ;>

Jan discovers PicLens. He thinks it’s pretty cool, and he tells his friend Michael. Michael says “Wow, I gotta have this on my site!” and proceeds to implement a mediaRSS feed for his daily photo community site, DailyFratze.de (“Daily Faces”).
Poof! Just like that, 3500+ DailyFratze photos materialize in PicLens space. Täglich frische!
Total elapsed time: a matter of hours. (Including time spent mesmerized [...]
